The Other Side - Episode 97: The Psyguy Story

He’s one of the most influential people in fandom. Much of the thingswe make fun of nerds on the internet for–Sonic fans especially–can be traced back to this one guy. He’s Bryon “Psyguy” Beaubien, and as is befitting someone who started so much shit, he himself was revealed to be a thoroughly shitty person. Such revelations would prove to mark the end of an era, with the makings of a story VH1 would be giddy to air if it had anything to do with music your parents listened to. Come with The Other Side, as they share the tawdry tale of the man who ruined Sonic the Hedgehog’s presence on the internet, and how his D-list internet fame ended not with a bang, or a whimper, but with his tail placed firmly between his legs as being faced with the consequences of his actions left him running away like a coward, dual trails of flaming tire tracks and a stream of urine behind him.
